Michelle Trachtenberg’s cause of death at 39 years old has finally been revealed nearly two months after her tragic pᴀssing.

The Gossip Girl star is said to have died due to complications from diabetes mellitus, according to a statement from the New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner.

Officials with the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner cited lab results in declaring their findings to Dailymail.com. 

It was not immediately clear if the entertainer, who had struggled with health issues in the timeframe prior to her pᴀssing, had type 1 or type 2 diabetes. 

Trachtenberg’s cause of death was classified as ‘natural,’ medical examiners said in their new report.  

Trachtenberg’s relatives had past cited religion as a reason why they did not want the results of her autopsy made public.
